Research Project on Health Care Organization (HCO) / CBO Collaboration in NYC

4 Funded by the Altman Foundation

There is uncertainty as to how partnerships activities will be sustained after DSRIP funding ends, and organizations are thinking about various payment models CBO capacity building and capability development must be supported if CBOs are to provide data and reports, particularly on health care outcomes The imbalance of power between HCOs and CBOs can strain relationship-building and contracting processes Trust, relationship building, and leadership support are necessary and can take time to develop Identifying the “right” partner is challenging, and strategies must be employed to assess whether the partnership can help meet organizational and operational goals
